PostSecret Review Summary
Ever wanted to post your secrets in cyberspace? Check out PostSecret, a compelling and inspirational blog by Frank Warren where contributors can anonymously post a secret they’ve been keeping on handmade postcards. Reviewers admit they are addicted to reading the secrets scribbled on each postcard that is uploaded to the PostSecret archive. For some it’s ‘the first thing I do every Sunday morning’. The weblog is wildly popular in the blogging world and is now in book form too. However, reviewers prefer the website commenting that the PostSecret book is ‘over-priced’. With new posts featured every week, reviewers crave the blog’s candid ‘sense of humor’ and sometimes ‘emotional’ posts. PostSecret, which began as an art project, has evolved into an online sensation. When it comes to the innovative and artsy site there seems to be only one complaint: the archives aren’t updated more often!

I like the PostSecret blog. I have for years. I do have criticisms of it, though. I like that people can anonymously send in their innermost, maybe dark, maybe not, secret and get it off their chest without having anyone know it's them. The postcards are beautiful, even the simple ones,it truly is a community "art project."
I think the point of sending one in is: "Oh! There I said it!" I think you send these things in anonymously for fear of being judged or social retribution. I kind of thought that was the spirit of it. Sometimes on the main page under a postcard, there will be a comment from...

My sister introduced me to Postsecret.com years ago. Every Sunday I would log on (new secrets are posted on Sunday's) and read the new postcards that were on the website. There is always an interesting array of secrets--some deep, some superficial, some sad and others happy. You never have any idea of what you will find. I liked the site so much (and so did so many others) that I bought 2 of the PostSecret books. I even bought some of the books for friends that I thought would enjoy them as much as me. The best part about the PostSecret idea is that is it completely anonymous (unless...

I stumbled upon this site a few years back and I've been frequenting it ever since. You'll find a mix of humor, tragedy, disbelief, amazement, hope, despair, love and hate in the postcards sent it to Frank Warren. Frank does an amazing job of screening the 20+ postcards he uploads every week.
He changes the postcards every week, so if you fail to catch it, you'll probably need to buy the PostSecret books he publishes every so often.
Visit this site if you want a good dose of emotion. The life that is touched may be your own. :)

I love Post Secret. At the top of my list of "to do" on Sunday is go to postsecret.com and check out the new secrets. This is the only blog I've found that can stir up every emotion possible in a matter of minutes. Some are sad, some make you feel wonderful, some even might anger you.
Although I would love for the site to have an archive or to post more secrets each Sunday, I think the great thing about this site is you always leave wanting more. Which is why you will be back the next Sunday and the next and the next.
Books, website and community are all addictive. Every week you read something new and every time, you are left wondering about the secrets others hold. post secret lets you have a small glimpse at the things others keep hidden.
Worth following each week, if not purchasing books. Gives you something to think about and often relates to our own lives more closely than we might want to admit.
